Win

This summer, thanks to our incredible partners at , Win campers had the opportunity to ride, groom, and spend time with horses—many for the very first time. Experiences like these give children the chance to explore new interests, build confidence, and simply enjoy being kids.

Thank you, GallopNYC, for opening your stables to our families and creating memories that will last long beyond the summer. We’re grateful for your partnership and the joy you bring to the children we serve.

The Gensler New York team generously shared their time, creativity, and design expertise to transform a Win site in Brooklyn with a vibrant new mural—bringing color, optimism, and a sense of possibility to the space that families call home.

The mural was made possible through a winning bid at Win’s Impact Party silent auction by Angela Paulk, who flew to join us and paint alongside the Gensler team. The mural was dedicated to her late father, Don Ray Paulk, creating a lasting tribute as part of this special project.

This mural is a reminder of what can happen when people bring their talents together with a shared commitment to creating brighter spaces and brighter futures. Thank you to Gensler New York and Angela for putting their creativity, time, and heart into making something beautiful for Win families.

For a family experiencing homelessness, getting a shelter bed is not the end of the crisis. Where a family is placed can affect a child’s education, health, family connections, and daily life, especially when a shelter is far from a child’s school.

Nyasia Neal and her sons are experiencing those consequences firsthand. They were placed in a Staten Island shelter while her children attend school in Brooklyn. The result is hours-long commutes, less time with family, and added disruption to their daily lives. Now, the family is navigating the process of requesting a shelter transfer closer to their schools.

And the disruption does not necessarily end there. The road to permanent housing can take months, leaving families in limbo as they work to get back on their feet. For families like Nyasia’s, every additional delay can mean more time away from the schools, communities, and support systems that help children thrive.

Families deserve a path to stability that minimizes disruption and keeps children connected to the people and places they rely on.
